“Kathy is the ideal sitter for our cat - caring, prompt, following his twice daily feeding needs & preferences, providing play time for him.. and bonding well. Best of all were the photos she sent at each visit, giving us daily laughs and smiles at his antics and cute poses she captured. Thank you, Kathy! Hope you’re available next time!”


“Katrina does an amazing job with my dogs! One of them is a little weary of people and I can tell that he loves her and that both of my dogs are very well cared for. She goes the extra mile to get to know them and makes sure that they feel comfortable!”

“I hired Jennifer for the second time to care for my dog Yori and cat Tilly, and she was wonderful again! She was very attentive, spending quality time with both our pets to keep them happy and engaged. She truly cares for our pets as if they were her own, and it shows in her thoughtful approach. I’m thrilled with her care and will definitely book her again!”


“Jennifer was amazing with my 2 old girls. I loved getting the pics and could tell they were happy. She took the time to learn their needs and personalities. I am so glad I found her.”



“Tina was amazing! She took care of Martin like her own. We had her do a few drop ins while out of town and she kept us in the loop the entire time. She even offered to check on our pup when our flight was delayed. Tina made me feel like I could put my phone down and not worry if Marty was going to be taken care of. I definitely recommend Tina for your pet sitting needs.”


“Kathleen did an amazing job. Kept me up to date on daily activities.did exactly as I asked. Will definitely use her again to take care of my fur babies.”


About: I love animals and have owned birds (zebra finches), ferrets, a dog (Labrador Retriever) and a cat (Domestic Shorthair). During my days in the College of Central Florida, I worked with the two horses they had there: a Thoroughbred named Ellie and an Arabian named Dolly. After graduating with my certificate in equine science, I volunteered at a cat shelter where I swept the floor, cleaned the litter boxes, and socialized the cats. Currently planning on owning a snake (most likely a red-tailed boa) one day. I am a currently unemployed night owl who is free to watch over any and all pets daily day or night throughout the entire week. I make sure that no pet gets into places they don't belong, eat things they shouldn’t eat, or go outside without a leash or harness.

“Lisa is AMAZING! My cat actually came out of hiding for her and didn’t go on a hunger strike like usual. I will be asking for her help again for sure! I’m new to the area and was a little nervous but as soon as I met her I had good vibes and no worries while I was out of town.”


“Nicole has been great and reliable with our dog! I completely trust her with our pet when we are traveling, I always know she is in good hands.”


“She took great care of Otis! Would book with her again anytime.”

About: I have always had dogs and cats in my household. I worked as a veterinarian assistant when I was younger now I am a retired teacher and I have a 13 year-old diabetic dog that I give insulin shots to twice a day and an 18-year-old cat that always needs special attention. I would love to help you with your pets!!! Since being retired, I would be available most likely whenever you need me…. ready to greet your pets with a calm and loving manner and spend time with them feed them whatever it is that you need. I am available to come to your house and care for your pets while you are working!!!:) I would be able to feed water walk and play and give lots of love to your animals!!!

About: I have been around my family's pets since birth-dogs of all sizes and cats-but my journey with caring for them began when I was 14. I helped birth, raise, and train three litters of great dane puppies over the course of a few years and have loved and advocated for them ever since. I still petsit the dogs in my family household in their senior years. I understand that all animals have unique body language and I strive to pay great attention to this. As a house and petsitter, I will always adhere to your personal advice, if you have it: how to interpret your dogs' unique behavior, how to engage with their personality, and how to make them the most comfortable. I also trust my intuition and will always prioritize their safety. I look forward to being a great friend and caregiver to your furbabies! I am a student; From January to March I attend physical classes two days a week and I will be available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fri/Sat/Sun. I cannot care for pets in my own home, however, I will travel up to an hour to care for them in your home. I have a driver's license and vehicle. I will provide the play and exercise per your pet's individual needs, feed them and keep water fresh, administer medication if needed per your instructions, and drive them to their favorite park or vet appointments.
